Aston Martin V12 Vantage 2012 Qatar Prices & Specs

The Aston Martin V8 Vantage forms the basis for the V12 Vantage, a technology showcase that brings the aging Vantage some new-found attention. The new-for-2010 Aston Martin V12 Vantage gets a big bump in power and a reprogrammed stability control system to help put it to the road. More a proper sports car than a grand tourer now, the V12 Vantage is powered by a 6.0-litre V12 from their larger DB9 series. A 6-speed conventional manual is mounted behind the driver for better weight distribution and drives the rear wheels. On the outside, the 2010 V12 Vantage gets a host of minor styling changes to differentiate itself from the V8 Vantage models, including a louvred bonnet, carbon-fibre front and rear air dams, and lower skirts. The V12 Vantage is a strict two-seater, with the rear environment offering a large luggage shelf area accessed by a tailgate. The long bonnet and two-seater cabin create an instantly recognisable stance. The Vantage's unique architecture provides an excellent backbone, while the use of materials such as lightweight alloys, magnesium and advanced composites for the body further contributes to the car's low weight and high rigidity. Offered with a combination of different leathers, contemporary fabrics and aluminium, V12 Vantage customers will have an extensive choice of standard body and trim colours from which to choose. Features include a CD stereo, power seats, alloy wheels and all the usual power accessories, as well as front and side airbags, stability control and ABS.
